Bridging Past & Present: ‘2010’ by Radio Free Alice
“2010” by Radio Free Alice is a nostalgic stroll through your favourite coming of age film. With echoes of The Cure and The Smiths, the track delves into the complexities of young love, capturing the raw emotions of longing and heartache.
As someone who’s found solace in the introspective moments of films like “Perks of Being A Wallflower,” “2010” feels like my own personal “tunnel song.” It’s the soundtrack to moments of reflection and reminiscence, evoking cherished memories from childhood.
Recorded live at Soundpark Studio, the song exudes an energy that’s both infectious and authentic. Its instrumental chorus is a bold artistic choice that pays off beautifully, adding to its nostalgic allure.
Radio Free Alice push past the adeptness at intertwining past influences with a contemporary edge, they have this wonderful ability to bridge the gap between the past and present.
“2010” not only showcases Radio Free Alice’s musical prowess but also their ability to connect on a deeply personal level. It’s a reminder of the power of music to evoke emotions and memories, leaving me eagerly anticipating more from the Naarm band.
